Staying at home right now? Missing our animals? We’ve got the solution – Nature at Home!
Learning and fun inside and out around your home via scavenger hunts, animal videos, fun facts and more.
Imagine your students wide-eyed at a moose. Nose-to-nose with a gray wolf. Burning off steam in a rope tunnel. Filled with a passion for frogs.

- A tram tour around our Free-Roaming Area with elk, bison and more
- Walking tours to see cougar, bears, wolves and others
- Daily Keeper Chats
